I was just going to say Gangster No 1 meechyemoo! For me along with Performance, and the Krays its just a fantastic movie and so underrated. Paul Bethany in I think one of his first lead performances is just STUNNING. He portrays a psycho as he plays the up and coming young gangster....but not alone with his actions, its all in his eyes, his presance - it is for me one of the most incredible performances I have seen in a move and my favourite performance of Mr Bethany - just incredible! The supporting cast too are fantastic, eddie marson always excellent as a fellow gangster, saffron burrows is just beautiful as the gangters girl, jamie forman excellent as the rival gangster/and david thewlis gives an also fantastic performance as bethany's hero/obsession. I was bllown away by the performances in this movie, see it if you haven't!

Loved this movie too, just wierd, strange but very cool - loved James Fox and Jagger in it too.

One movie not sure if its seens as underrated but I think the Krays is just superb. The Kemp brothers are fantastic in it, and I for one think its a stunning movie, with great performances by Martin and Gary and a great depiction of their lives and that time London.

Anyone seen The Upturned Glass? Been on ITV4 a few times in recent months and I just got round to watching it today. Stars James Mason as a surgeon who plans to kill the woman who he thinks killed his lover. Very Hitchcockian with lots of suspense. Worth a watch if it comes on TV again.

My favourites are:

Hell Drivers

Hell Is a City

The Frightened City.

Stanley Baker starred in the first two. He was a great loss to the British film industry when he died so young.

Thought some might want to know that Hell Drivers is available at iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode.../Hell_Drivers/ until Sun, 14 Apr 2013
